Whatever lies thine eyes have told
You think I'm hot, but boy I'm cold

 

You sang of heartbreak all along
Well I'm the girl from all those songs

 

Stay away. This serpent stings
Stay away from shining things

 

See mine eyes? They glitter malice
All you see's a golden chalice

 

Come and drink this love from I
Down this poison, drink and die

 

Teasing lips hide sharpened fangs
You kiss the tree from which you hang

 

You swear mine crown a halo sings
Claim to see the glow of wings

 

But gash apart my soft white breast
And feel mine black heart scorch thy chest

 

Beating, bursting, shooting arrows
Confusing what is straight and narrow

 

Watch my blood as black as sin
Pour evil forth from lungs within

 

Art thou sane? I think it not
For love of that which breeds foul rot

 

Drawn in blindly by a smile
Drawn to death by tongue so vile

 

How you love me, canst thou see?
I'm nothing but a trap for thee.
